A short read from the number one bestselling author of Kane and Abel Taken from Jeffrey Archer's second collection of short stories, A Twist in the Tale, comes this irresistible, witty and ingenious short read. Benjamin's childhood dream was to win the mile in the West Mount High School championships, but his attempts were peppered with taunts about his very traditional Jewish upbringing. And he is besotted with Christina – even though she is seemingly a key perpetrator of the slander. Told through a series of poignant letters written by Benjamin to his estranged father the rabbi, this is a tender, heart-wrenching and ultimately devastating tale of first love – and final promises. Praise for Jeffrey Archer 'Probably the greatest storyteller of our age' Mail on Sunday
